Christian and the team have just built me a new website, and I'm absolutely over the moon with it. The whole project was managed really smoothly, and the website was completed in just over a week. Communication was excellent throughout, everything was explained clearly, and the finished site looks fantastic. I'd happily recommend Christian and the team to anyone looking for a professional website.

Really pleased with the website Christian and the team built for my With Bear Hands project. I'd been meaning to get a website done for ages, but I wanted to find someone who not only built websites but actually understood what I was trying to achieve. Christian got it straight away. I only gave a simple brief and they took it from there. The whole process was easy, there was very little fuss, and the finished website is exactly what I had in mind. Couldn't be happier with the result and I'd happily recommend them.

Good questions

Wondering about
something?

Is the website really free to build?

Yes, it really is! There’s no upfront design or build fee for our standard subscription websites. You simply pay £19.99 a month + VAT with a 12-month minimum agreement. Your domain is charged separately.

So how can we do it? Well, we’re pretty damn good at what we do! We’ve been designing and building websites for years, and modern tools allow us to work smarter and faster without compromising on quality.

We pass those savings on to you. We take care of the design and build, and you just pay the ongoing running costs. Simple as that!

Are there any hidden charges?

Nope, no hidden charges! For our subscription website, you pay £19.99 a month + VAT, plus £12.99 for your domain name every two years.

That’s it. There are no other charges involved. If you ever ask us for something extra, like an online shop, we’ll always agree the cost with you first.

Can I have email addresses?

Of course! You get up to five professional email addresses included in your monthly subscription, all using your own domain name.

Is there a limit on the number of pages?

No, we don’t set a fixed limit on the number of pages your website can have. We want your website to have everything it needs to showcase your business properly.

Our fair usage policy applies, but for most small business websites, you’ll have nothing to worry about!

Can I update my website and add new pages?

Absolutely! That’s all part of the service. Whether you want to update some text, change a few photos or add new pages from time to time, just let us know and we’ll take care of it for you.

There’s no need to learn how to manage your website yourself. We do all that for you, and it’s included in your monthly subscription. One less thing for you to worry about!

Can I make weekly updates to my website?

No problem at all! Just send over your changes each week and we’ll handle all of that for you.

Can I add widgets like Google reviews and WhatsApp? Is there any extra cost?

No extra cost at all! We’ve developed our own widgets for things like Google reviews and WhatsApp chat, so there’s nothing extra to pay and no limits on use.

Do you use AI?

Yes, we use AI as a tool, just like many of the other tools we use to design and build websites. But it’s only one part of the process. Experience, creativity and a human touch still matter.

And remember, having a website is only one part of being successful online. Getting found, attracting visitors and turning them into customers is just as important. That’s where our experience and advice can help.

Are your websites built by robots (AI)?

Nope! West Country Websites is made up of real people — experienced web designers and developers who know their stuff.

We use AI where it helps, but every website benefits from human creativity, experience and attention to detail. After all, building a great website takes more than pressing a button. Meet the people behind West Country Websites →

I don’t have a logo. Can you design one for me?

Of course! We can design a logo for your business as part of your website package, at no extra cost.

We’ll create a logo that suits your business and works beautifully with your new website. If you’d like to explore additional designs or different concepts, we can do that too, although a small additional fee applies.

Can I see a preview before I commit?

Yes. Tell us about your business and we’ll prepare a homepage preview for you to consider before you subscribe. The preview shows the direction we have in mind; it isn’t the finished website.

Is there a contract?

Yes, a 12-month minimum agreement. We’ll explain the full terms before you subscribe, including the total subscription commitment of £239.88 + VAT, excluding any separate domain charges.

What about my domain name?

Domain registration and renewal are charged separately. We’ll explain the options, registration arrangements and how transfers work before you go ahead.

Do you build online shops too?

Yes. We have years of experience with e-commerce, including Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento. Online shops and more advanced projects are quoted separately from the standard subscription website.

Can't see your question here? Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

✳ Something bigger?

Online shops and
bespoke projects, too.

If our subscription website isn't the right fit, or you need something more bespoke, we've got that covered. From e-commerce and Shopify websites to Magento and WordPress projects, we'll build a solution around what your business actually needs. These are quoted separately.
